Los Gatos: Public invited to March 14 reception for Irish minister

Los Gatos Mayor Steve Leonardis is hosting a reception on Friday for Jimmy Deenihan, who is Ireland's minister of arts and culture. The public is invited to attend the reception, which is from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the town council chamber, 110 E. Main St.

Twenty years ago Los Gatos became a sister city to Listowel, Ireland, so the reception will celebrate that relationship.

Deenihan is part of a contingent of Irish dignitaries visiting Los Gatos to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. They are also meeting with Silicon Valley leaders to discuss technology issues and developments.
